The Philippine National Police on Tuesday reported that four of its vehicles and six stations sustained damage in Central Luzon due to the onslaught of super typhoon "Karding" which pummeled Luzon on Sunday.

PNP chief Gen. Rodolfo Azurin Jr., said that as of Monday, the estimated cost of damage to infrastructure and some vehicles was at P480,980 at Police Region Office 3.

"That's the initial report we tabulated," Azurin said.

Based on the data obtained by PNA the six damaged infrastructures were the Dingalan Municipal Police Station, the COMPAC 41 in Balibago, Angeles City, the 303rd MC, RMFB3 in Gapan, Nueva Ecija, the PHQ NEPPO in Cabanatuan, the Licab MPS in Licab and the Gabaldon MPS.

The PNP has its own funds to finance the repair of police stations and other offices that are damaged in times of natural calamities.

Meantime, the damaged vehicles were a Personnel Carrier 4×4 of Dingalan PS, a Patrol Jeep 4×2 (Toyota Hilux) of Bongabon MPS, Patrol Jeep 4×2 (Toyota Hilux) of the Sto. Domingo MPS and a Patrol Jeep 4×2 (Toyota Hilux) of San Jose MPS in San Jose, Tarlac

Azurin said they need to expedite the downloading of funds for the repair of affected facilities, assuring that there are available funds for the purpose and tasked the chiefs of police and other police commanders to check the status of their respective personnel to determine if they were affected by the weather disturbance.

"We also want to make sure that we take good care of our personnel. That's the reason why we need the reports of our personnel on the ground to know if there are PNP personnel who were adversely affected by this weather disturbance," Azurin said.

Meanwhile, the PNP has also deployed personnel in identified evacuation areas so immediate assistance can be assured.

"Our personnel are in constant coordination with the LGU and all other government agencies in assisting to the need of transferring the residents to a safer place. It is high time to show our spirit of Bayanihan," Azurin said.

"We continue to urge the public, especially those directly hit by the calamity, to exercise vigilance and discipline in this trying time. Our hardworking personnel are constantly conducting patrols to scour on areas and assess the typhoon effect," he added.
